So, have you guys been doing anything to exercise recently? I figure there's probably a few who are, considering the whole new years resolutions and all.

Four months ago when I joined my school's crew team, I could just barely run a mile. This morning, I rowed 10 kilometers on a machine, then immediately got up and ran 4.4 miles in the 30 degree weather, all before 7:30 AM.

It's pretty amazing what you can do if you really work for it.

Have you guys been keeping active? What's your routine normally, if you've got one? Hell, even just getting out and walking for five minutes a day is awesome.

It's not part of my resolution, but we're back to hitting the gym. We're only on our second time back today thanks to being benched by some colds. As for routine, weightlifting and light cardio.

I usually play squash and then do a short focused workout. I also bike a lot, all year round.

I walk several miles a day, but that's about it. I usually do about 2-3 miles to and from work, and 2-3 during my lunch break. I also (1-2 times a week) lift some dumbbells while watching TV at home; biceps and triceps.

Also, joined a biggest loser competition at work; currently tied for last place, only having lost .69% of my body mass after 3 weeks

I plan on restarting the P90X on Monday (which is a holiday). It's gonna kill, but I have several friends promising to hold me to it.

Five mile jog Monday, Wednesday, Friday, 30 minute swim Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, rest on Sunday. Monday through Friday alternate between 100 pushups and situps every hour. Sometimes I'll switch up the situps with crunches, but not often enough to be considered routine.

I run 6-9 miles a week, mainly on the weekends. Going to start upping that as the weather gets warmer and I have more daylight. I'm going to move up from 5k runs and start doing 10k runs this year. I also exercise most week nights after work doing P90X workouts, though I'm not doing the whole P90X regimen anymore. I also have an elliptical that I use a couple times a week.

I train at an MMA gym here in NYC. The schedule changes a little here and there but I mostly do:

Monday
Strength & Conditioning (lifting)
No-gi Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
Tuesday
Strength & Conditioning (cross training)
No-gi Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
Wednesday
Day off
Thursday
Strength & Conditioning (cross training)
Muay Thai
Friday
Strength & Conditioning (lifting)
No-gi Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

I take most weekends off (once in a while I'll hit up our apartment's gym to do some cardio and ab work). Each session is 1-1.5 hours. The S&C classes vary a lot - we cycle through a bunch of different lifting and aerobic exercises. I prefer no-gi BJJ, but once in a blue moon I'll throw on the pajamas and roll.

I used to go to a BJJ-exclusive place, but I'm liking this one a lot more...it's much more inclusive, and less self-serious. The instructors and classmates do a good job of keeping me moving, but there's room to joke around and keep things light, which I really appreciate. It's a hell of a workout, but it's also competitive and fun, which helps me stay motivated.

I really need to get out and exercise. All this talk about exercise made me hungry.
Now I think I'll go the fridge and make me a sandwich.

2-3 times a week we hit the gym
30-40 minutes of cardio
weights until we are tired and go home

This is the first time we have worked out in a looooooooong time, so still taking it quite gentle.

I race-walked in a 5K yesterday. 3.1 miles in a bit under an hour.

My legs are killing me today!

Most days I end up going to the gym and riding the elliptical for 30 minutes.

I've been having fun with fitocracy lately. yay, leveling

Lol, You make an exercise machine sound like an amusement park ride. If only it were so.

Good job on getting out and walking for an hour though. (I'm assuming the 5k was outside..)

I think the problem I've been having lately is that I'm not really having 'rest' days. I'll do 1-2 workouts a day plus or minus some activities (volleyball, hockey). What are peoples thoughts on rest days? How many should I have?
